The 2.65 M blind Europeans are strongly disadvantaged in education, employment, mobility and participation in society. This
is caused by the fact that current output technologies only relate text. Spreadsheets, charts, graphics, maps, images,
websites, floor plans and many other information types represent an almost insurmountable barrier. The inability to access
information impedes the personal, professional and financial independence and leads to an unemployment rate of 75 %
(source: RNIB) amongst blind people in Europe.
In six years Inventivio has developed the worldwide first interactive output technology that enables blind people to access
any information without the help of others. Due to its large tactile matrix with more than 10.500 tactile dots, the blind user can
read text and graphics with the fingertips.
The underlying software platform automatically transforms the information on the computer screen into Braille letters
(alphabet for the blind) and tactile graphics. The software platform is open and a wide range of tools is made available to
simplify the development of apps.
The system has reached TRL6 and is based on a break-through technology that is radically cheaper per tactile point than
the industry standard. This is achieved by dissociating the expensive actuators from the number of touch points used in the
device. By dissociating these, it becomes possible to offer the thousands of touch points needed to display graphics at an
affordable price.
The Tactonom’s mission is to provide informational autonomy and enable blind people to lead a personally, professionally
and financially more independent life. This is achieved by providing access to any information without the help of others and
thus caters to the goals of the European Disability Strategy.
With the Tactonom, Inventivio plans to help reduce the unemployment rate amongst blind people in Europe by 10 % within
the next 10 years and enable 87.600 Europeans to access a job.
